Van Buren Washington, DC Trip

Donation protected
May 16-18, 2018 marks the 12th annual Van Buren Middle School eighth grade trip to Washington, DC. Since September, families have made payments to our tour company.  However, on May 4 we learned that Discovery Tours, the travel company we were working with, ceased operations and are canceling all future trips.  Only about half of the trip vendors were paid and the company declared bankruptcy. We strongly believe that the Washington, DC trip is an important educational opportunity and is a hallmark of the middle school experience at Van Buren.  The Van Buren Board of Education is committed to ensuring that this trip proceed and we’re looking for donors to help us cover the $30,000 of unpaid balances for hotel rooms, meals, and other reservations. Donations of any amount will be appreciated.  If we exceed our fundraising goal, excess funds will be applied to future student travel scholarships at Van Buren Middle School. Thank you for rallying with us to ensure our students experience Gettysburg and Washington, DC!
